Russ and Suzy (Susie?) promoted to orange and yellow belt respectively. They both did a great job. During my class we were shown some of the techniques from the past weekends seminar. I’ve already marked the third weekend in July 2006 to try to be there. Talking with Rob and Dave, it sounds like it was a fantastic seminar. And congrats to Sensei Kevin for his promotion. I guess I need to update the web site now. 
I’m about a third through Half-Blood Prince, but Carol will catch up with me today. I suspect she and I will be racing to see who finishes HBP first. Slow reader that I am, I would put my money on her. But all bets are off if my kids get into the game.
Good Fit

Got my hiking shoes for RMNP. I went with a low ankle cross-trainer style. So far they feel good. The trip is less than two months away and I’m still wheezing when I try to run a mile. I’m doomed.
The dojo has rented out some time to a Jazzercize group. Yell if you are interested. I think classes start in August.
Kids will be back tomorrow.
Happy BD boys

Tonight we had a pool party for Ben and Brady. It was much fun and the thunder held off until just as we were leaving. Looking at the radar later it appears a decent storm just went to the north of us. Phewww. Also missed today was the Ford family dinner and the karate seminar.
Spent the morning working on church computers after we were hit by lightning Friday. It took out phones, network, NICs, a couple of computers, refridgerator, and an elevator. Yikes. It’s not nice to fool mother nature. (remember that phrase?)
Tomorrow the little ones go to KY to stay with grandparents a few days. I’ll swing by REI and get my boots to start breaking them in for September.
